Identifying skuas: Great, Arctic, Long-tailed and Pomarine

Identifying skuas: Great, Arctic, Long-tailed and Pomarine

Identifying skuas passing offshore in late summer is one of the great challenges of bird ID. There are clues to help us, however, and - with practice - most skuas can be identified. 

Focusing on separating Great, Arctic, Long-tailed and Pomarine Skuas, this workshop will point you in the right direction by helping you to focus on the features and markings that will be most helpful when seawatching.
